Rooted in South County’s German heritage, these congregations blend traditional liturgy with choir and bell music, plus active preschool and confirmation programs. Many gather near Watson Trail Park, Laumeier Sculpture Park, and quiet streets off Lindbergh, hosting blood drives, Scouts, and community dinners.

Sermon clips from Sunset Hills churches

29s
“Jesus just knew that the stuff had him, he didn't have the stuff. God's not against you having money, he's against money having you. God's not against you having a boat or a lake house or anything. He just wants to make sure you honor God. In a world where we're really, really busy, it's very tempting to just say, I'll just watch online. I'll just stay in bed and watch online. That's okay occasionally, but you can't do that all the time. You're gonna have to actually go to the gym, not just watch it online.”
31s
“For this week will be different, I hear the Lord say, than last week. Where you've been striving, trying to perform and feel like you're underperforming, feeling overwhelmed, feeling hurt. Some of you have been led to self soothing, clicking one page too far, abusing alcohol because you just needed your brain to shut up for a minute. The Holy Spirit is here and he is the healing balm. He'll remove burdens and destroy yokes.”
25s
“year ago I'd slapped you. Come on somebody. But now I know who I am and I know whose I am. So my confidence doesn't come from my mom. My confidence doesn't come for my dad. And I've decided to be happy in Jesus and understand that even though they might forsake me, God will never leave me nor forsake me. Somebody ought to give God a big praise. Come on every campus, clap your hands today.”
44s
“Make it easy for people to tell you I was wrong. That's no big deal. I've been wrong the whole time. Our family's like that in a big way. The pastor of church, you gotta be that way. Man, you're talking about getting offended. Oh, Jesus. You're about getting your feelings hurt. You gotta grow in this big time. That's first Corinthians 13. You gotta go there. Love is kind. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love's not puffed up. Love doesn't insist on its own way. Love, god's love never fails. You wanna fail? Get out of love. I owe too much money to get out of love.”
29s
“We don't have to comment on everything. It's a narrow road to go, I'm not gonna say anything. Because peace will be there. Direction will be there. Again, not that we wanna get rid of our discernment. Not that we're saying everything's good and perfect. But just by not saying anything, sometimes a good thing.”
28s
“But see how you can shell out criticism, but you can also receive criticism in the same passage, and I won't have time to get there tonight, but it says, be careful casting your pearls before swine. In other words, sometimes you'll know the skinny about something and you wanna tell the skinny about something and you might be right, but telling them makes you wrong.”
38s
“Go see movies with people. Have fun. Don't take life too serious. Life is short. And when you die, you're dead. And I've never looked over the casket, and the guy's like, does my tie look good? Is my Botox good? Nobody cares. Live today. Live today full of faith, full of vigor, full of fun. Enjoy something. Come on. Go eat some ice cream. Go watch a movie. Laugh a little. Love a little. Look at your neighbor and say, I can do this sermon.”
35s
“Am I helping anybody besides me? Raise your hand. Look at your neighbor and say, you look better already. It looks like you had Botox. Was just in twenty minutes. Look at this. But remember, your battery goes low, then you go low, then you run off, and you start sending text, getting mad, and ruining your life. Elijah wasn't running from Jezebel. He was actually running on empty. Your car has a gas gauge. Anybody know exactly how far it can go even when it's on e? Come on. Raise your hand.”
29s
“Realize that gotta get easier. It's gonna get complicated. So you gotta you can live under the pressure or you can get on top of the pressure. So you gotta eat? Everybody shout, we gotta eat. You gotta sleep. Come on. Say you gotta sleep. If not, you're gonna stress out and you're gonna run from problem to problem. Now for the sake of time, the angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him again and said, get up and eat for the journey is too much for you.”
33s
“You get a certified letter. Oh, it's bad. Might be that somebody died and left you in the will. Oh, phone ringing again. It's a bill collector. You're thinking the worst because you're allowing anxiety and anxious thoughts to get ahold of your brain. And this is exactly what Elijah said. I'm the only one left. And so stress now distorts reality. Stress distorts reality. It's not as bad as you think. Anybody ever had this happen?”
